Katie Porter expresses regrets over videos of her berating staff

Former California Democratic Rep. Katie Porter, who is running for governor of California next year, said she regretted her behavior after two videos of her threatening to walk out of an interview and berating a staffer made headlines.

“When I look at those videos, I want people to know that I understand that I could have handled things better,” Porter told Nexstar’s Inside California Politics on Tuesday in her first public remarks on the footage. “I think I’m known as someone who’s able to handle tough questions, who’s willing to answer questions. And I want people to know I really value the incredible work that my staff can do.”
